Dominoes

Dominoes have a long and fascinating history. Recorded history traces this popular game back to China in 1120 AD. From there, traders most likely brought dominoes from the Far East to Europe. Later, immigrants brought them to the New World.

Originally made of ivory and ebony, dominoes today are mostly made of wood. The white-on-black appearance of dominoes probably named the game. In the middle of the 1700s, dominoes reached its height of popularity in Europe where it became the most popular of all games on the continent. Since then, it has continued to remain one of the most popular games of all time throughout the world.
